Why don't my inverted scheduled periods work together in my active time?

In the Active Time configuration, the “Invert” option makes the time outside the specified period active. Schedule periods in active times are “or’d” together, so combining inverted times will likely make it active 24/7. The “Override” option is recommended to be used in general. (The “Invert” option is useful only when exactly one Scheduled Period is defined.)

The active time combines each schedule period with a logical “OR” to determine if the active time is active or not.
